Not Lost in New York

People keep saying this is the moon, but I don't think so. I don't know what it is... I should have photo-shopped a Batman signal in there!

Well to me it looks like a big spot light that people use to go across the sky during big events or grand openings.

Possibly lens flare from a lamp? Maybe the one above the JVC globe?

I think .. that u've to clean up the sensor =p

It's flare from this light!

Not Lost in New York by Stuck in Customs.

Here I am in the middle of Times Square in New York on a perfect night. The sky was this strange blue color of a cool dusk night and every light in the city was in full burn. Enjoy!

I have a tutorial at stuckincustoms.com/2006/06/06/548/ that has another similar shot...

from my daily photo blog at www.stuckincustoms.com

Beautiful image. What's the light circle in the center - in the background? You can't have been lucky enough to catch the moon could you? Your cup runeth over? Or a very clever compositional enhancement? Very nice either way. Love how the twilight sky enhances the blues in the neon. PM
